Abstract
This research paper addresses the modes and procedures of implementing Blockchain technology to ensure public procurement procedures. Due to the characteristics, advantages and importance in the legal field, the implementation of this digital mechanism faces the challenge of providing public services, in quantity and quality, in an efficient and transparent manner, and often with fewer resources available. Currently, in the National Public Procurement Service (Sercop) there are recruitment processes that have greater number of economic resources allocated, where certain irregularities are usually found, at the stage of awarding suppliers. In this sense, the purpose of this article is to analyze the implementation of Blockchain to ensure public procurement procedures. In this way, the research approach is quantitative; to this end, surveys were carried out with the personnel who work in the Technology Department of the National Public Procurement Service (Sercop). With the implementation of this instrument, it is intended to know the percentage of the current problem of recruitment processes in Ecuador; literature related to the operation of Blockchain technology and its application in global procurement procedures is also reviewed. The aim is to obtain an analysis of the technical, economic, and legal feasibility of the application of Blockchain technology in public procurement procedures in Ecuador.
